The past two weekends the opposing team has conceded the first game to LSU with Skenes pitching and moved their better arm to the second game. It's worked both weekends. I know there are several reasons contributing to the game 2 loss each weekend, but should JJ wait to see the opposing teams pitchers to make a final decision? I'm admittedly ignorant to the proper application of managing a baseball team, so I'm asking some of the boards more experienced posters their opinion.

No. Our #2 pitcher left the game after 6 with the lead over their Ace last night.

I mean what difference does it really make? When he’s on the mound you have a 90% chance to win the game.
I don’t think changing the day he pitches really matters. We still have the same guys in the pen…

This. You leave Skenes on Fridays unless weather threats make a change necessary. Would look hard at starting him in the 2nd game in Hoover to get him on a schedule to throw the second day of regional play.
